Great Tropical Drive

The Great Tropical Drive is a self-drive route that will take you from Cairns and Townsville to some amazing places in tropical north Queensland.

The touring route winds its way from palm-fringed beaches, to ancient rainforests and the golden outback of North Queensland.

Follow the Great Tropical Drive for 12 days and 2,079 kilometres to some of Australia’s best known attractions - the Great Barrier Reef, Daintree Rainforest, Hinchinbrook Island and Undara Lava Tubes - and be prepared for many unexpected discoveries along the way.

Or take a shorter Discovery Trail. You can choose from 13 Discovery Trails - each one a unique itinerary that will give you a taste of tropical Queensland: from overnight drives onto the Tablelands, to week-long 4WD and campervan adventures into the goldfields.
